Bujinkan Ninjutsu is an interesting, practical and fun way to get fit!!

Interesting: over 900 years of Ninja and Samurai history and tradition, passed down orally and in secret scrolls from consecutive grandmaster for 34 generations.

Practical: The methods and philosophies transmitted through the generations have been formed through the ages and on the battle fields of ancient Japan, to create a pragmatic, simple and efficient form of self-defence and preservation.

Fun: The ninja of old learnt that to cope in difficult situations it was important to have fun, so we enjoy what we do and create an atmosphere of fun, this also speeds up the learning process.

These skills are appropriate today as they were 1000 years ago.

Ninjutsu is a real martial art which means it main purpose is for self-defence, designed to enable a person to defend themselves and others from possible heavier, larger and stronger attackers, by learning and practising clever, controlled balance taking and striking to an attackers weak points, therefore powerful techniques are performed in very carefully controlled manner and competitions are not possible or recommended.

Also as Ninjutsu is designed for personal safety and possible real live confrontations, disabling, subtle techniques are taught, very different from sport “martial arts” that are designed for competitions with rules, regulations and referees and just one one one.
